Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

Zhan Wusi was furious upon hearing this, believing that the other party was toying with her, reneging on their agreement after receiving the benefits.

The anger she felt towards Li Chengfeng surged in her heart once again, and now, being played by the young master of the Puppet Sect only intensified her fury.

Zhan Wusi knew she had suffered in silence this time, but she couldn't let it go so easily. As soon as she found Li Chengfeng, she was determined to take action herself and completely eliminate this major threat.

Faced with Zhan Wusi's questioning, the young master of the Puppet Sect was enraged.

He felt that he had been manipulated by this woman, not only losing a capable subordinate but also gaining nothing in return. He couldn't tolerate such humiliation.

He gritted his teeth and retorted to Zhan Wusi, saying, "This collaboration ends here. In the Ghost Valley Secret Realm, we will rely on our own abilities.

Furthermore, the Nine Desires Heavenly Bloom is something I am determined to obtain. I vow to make the people of the Blood Demon Sect witness the strength of my Puppet Sect disciples."

In a fit of anger, he ended the communication, which only further enraged Zhan Wusi.

Zhan Wusi stood up abruptly and shattered the jade couch beside her with a palm strike, revealing her recent state of rage.

She had been fined 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones for her previous mistake and forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, barely managing to mitigate the losses caused by the incident.

Such punishment made her deeply resent the failure of her plan.

What worried her even more was Xue Tian's prolonged absence.

She feared that Xue Tian had encountered some danger, because Xue Tian was not only her husband but also the leader of this Ghost Valley Secret Realm expedition.

The Xue family's patriarch had gone to Qi State to look for Xue Tian, hoping to find him as soon as possible and ensure his safety.

She knew very well that if someone from another family were leading the team, the benefits would likely be snatched away by others.

Zhan Wusi's actions had completely infuriated the young master of the Puppet Sect. The failure of the plan was a huge blow to him.

He realized that this woman was not only clever but also cunning, and her betrayal caused him great pain.

However, he also knew that in the Demonic Path, there were no true friends, only interests.

The young master suppressed the anger in his heart and wisely chose to stay in the sect, immediately dispatching experts to track Zhan Wusi, lest he fall for her trap.

In the world of the Demonic Path, full of interests and betrayals, he knew that once he lost the other party's trust, all his efforts would be in vain.

Zhan Wusi's actions had completely enraged him, and a rift had formed between the two of them. The young master vowed to have the Puppet Sect's disciples retaliate against the Blood Demon Sect.

Li Chengfeng had no idea that what he had done had caused so much trouble and suspicion between the two sides.

Their cooperation had originally been cautious, fearing that the other party would take advantage, but Zhan Wusi's actions had completely broken this fragile balance.

Li Chengfeng had always been cautious, and he had been staying within his own space, not acting rashly.

After more than ten days, he noticed that there was no movement, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, someone had gone to look for some clues, riding a flying sword, but quickly returned, apparently without any gain.

Meanwhile, Li Chengfeng's substitute puppet went to dump the waste, which was actually a clever smokescreen.

He took the opportunity to bring all the waste into the Hell Space and put it into the blood pool for sorting.

When he returned, his harvest was particularly rich. He not only obtained a large amount of materials for refining puppets, but also the six beauty puppets were not damaged.

After his repairs, these puppets could be used again.

What excited him even more was that the puppets were engraved with a set of illusion formations.

It should be known that among formations, illusion formations are extremely advanced. If sold, this set would be worth at least tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones.

And Li Chengfeng had obtained it so easily. Although it was only a simplified version of the illusion formation, it was still a treasure to him.

After in-depth research, Li Chengfeng discovered that the reason why these six puppets could use illusions was because of the special aura fluctuations emanating from them.

After he disrupted this formation, he discovered that the information fluctuations would lead people's spirits into a special state.

This discovery greatly inspired Li Chengfeng, and he decided to incorporate this illusion technique into his own attack methods.

He returned to his cultivation place and began to imprint this set of illusion formations onto his "Thunderclap Strike."

This "Thunderclap Strike" was actually a needle-like divine sense formed within his consciousness, and many such needles could be condensed.

However, the condensation process was extremely painful.

Through arduous effort, Li Chengfeng formed nine "Thunderclap Strikes" with his divine sense.

Whenever he launched an attack, these "Thunderclap Strikes" would shock the opponent's mind like thunder, causing them to feel dizzy and disoriented.

But Li Chengfeng felt that this was not enough, so he engraved the set of illusion formations on each "Thunderclap Strike."

These spikes seemed to have gained sentience, not only possessing powerful physical attack capabilities but also inducing hallucinations in the opponent.

This special psychedelic formation was even more terrifying than simple dizziness because it could evoke the darkest aspects of the opponent's heart.

This attack method was unique to Li Chengfeng, relying on his deep understanding of the Food Sea and his challenge to his own limits.

During the process of condensing the "Thunderclap Strike," Lou Lan trembled beside him.

He knew that this attack method posed a great threat to the soul, but Li Chengfeng was able to condense it so calmly, which made him deeply admire Li Chengfeng's strength and perseverance.

After several months of effort, Li Chengfeng finally completed the condensation of all nine "Thunderclap Strikes." During this time, he also practiced the Artificer's Puppet Technique and could now control hundreds of puppets.

The puppets he created were strange and unique, each with its own characteristics, but all aimed for practicality. In the Ghost Valley Secret Realm, these puppets would become his cannon fodder, providing him with powerful firepower support while also ensuring his safety.

Li Chengfeng's strength and wisdom made him stand out in the Puppet Sect, and he looked forward to showing his strength in the Ghost Valley Secret Realm.

Li Chengfeng cleverly used his substitute puppet in his cultivation, allowing him to cultivate his true body while the substitute puppet was active outside, paving the way for him and greatly shortening his cultivation time.

One day, the substitute puppet brought back exciting news: the sect announced that anyone who was willing to enter the Ghost Valley Secret Realm and successfully bring out Foundation Establishment stage spiritual herbs would be directly promoted to an inner disciple.

This news caused a huge uproar within the sect, making many rogue cultivators and outer disciples eager to participate.

Although the opportunities and risks of the Ghost Valley Secret Realm coexisted, Li Chengfeng had long been determined to go. He knew that this was the key to his advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The Foundation Establishment stage was the foundation of cultivation and could not be taken lightly, and the Nine Desires Heavenly Bloom was precisely the key spiritual herb he needed for advancement.

In order to condense the Heavenly Fiend Qi and the Earthly Fiend Qi, he had to obtain the Nine Nether Earthly Fiend, and the Ghost Valley Secret Realm was his only chance.

Upon learning of this news, Li Chengfeng left seclusion without hesitation, recalled his substitute puppet, and headed straight to the Outer Sect Affairs Hall to sign up.
